Hi everyone.
I have recently upgraded my SGA from original 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 XXKPE and i have detected an issue when i try to use the WPA + AES combination. The phone detects the wifi but it tries to validate the password a few times and then it is disconnected...
When i tried to connect with the older firmware (Froyo 2.2.1) i could connect the first time but when i lost the connectivity my wifi changed it's state to error and the only way to reconnect was restarting the phone.
No issue detected with WEP or WPA + TKIP.
Anyone else has the same problem? If not, can you tell me your firmware version?
Many thanks in advance
Same situation: S5830 + ASUS WL500W works only with WPA TKIP. But with TKIP speed is limited to 54mbps. Android OS 2.3.4
Just picked up a Samsung Galaxy Ace running stock Android 2.3.4 (baseband S5830LUBKP7, kernel 2.6.35.7-perf-CL366939 [email protected] #1), and seem to be having this same problem.
My home wifi is set to WPA2 Personal+AES, and when the correct passphrase is entered, the Ace just continuously cycles through "Connecting... Disconnected", over and over.
If I drop back to WPA Personal+AES, I get the exact same thing. *However*, if I drop to WPA Personal+TKIP, the phone connects immediately.
I really don't want to use TKIP, as it has known exploits. Is there a known FOTA update for a US-market, unbranded Galaxy Ace that fixes this, or is there any known workaround except "don't use AES"?
try DDKQ6
after flashing DDQK6, reboot phone and enter PIN
then reboot again but in recovery and install CWM5
reboot and wipe data/cache/dalvik and reboot

Thanks for the info. I'm new to flashing phones, would kinda like to stay stock if possible, since this is my wife's phone, not my own. Am I correct in thinking DDQK6 is an Indian firmware? If so, what would differ from US-market firmware, and would I potentially lose any features or cause any unusual behavior by switching to it?

Just update it over the air from setting -> about/phone -> update.
Make sure you have backed up the data like contacts and sms.
Hey, hey!! Problem with wifi? I'm an expert on this But I came with bad news, though.
What I found out:
There's indeed a bug that prevents us from connecting to this kind of wireless (eduroam, in my case). Everything seems to come from a buggy version of wpa_supplicant, everything goes well but then, in the second phase, it seems to "forget" the password or something (I'm not an expert, sorry, can't explain any better) I've been trying to change it, but no luck.
I've tried most of the stock firmwares, and custom roms as well. No luck, still the same bug.
There's an app that claims to fix the problem. wifi ace if I remember well (advanced config editor). But it didn't fix anything for me. You may want to give it a try.
I was expecting for samsung to fix it, but I've lost my faith on it. Neither google seems to be doing anything, as the bug remains on android 4.0.
I can provide you with some links, in case you want to read more about. And please, let me know if you find something.

No need to be sorry. You're replying to a thread that's current, in that I replied to it with my own problem. (And I did so because it was the only thread that came up in the Ace forum on a search for AES, which seems to be specific to the problem. Didn't seem to make sense to start a new thread when this one covers the same topic.)
Hellao Everyone
Well i FLashed (OFFICIAL) [email protected]_2.3.3_v2 two days ago with Franco's LAtest [KERNEL][12 JUL]franco.Kernel |.v1-GINGERBREAD| 2.6.35.13
Everything RUns Smooth and makes a 770 Quadrant Score with CPU settings on
122/691 using nofrills with interactiveX
Smoothass for some reason BUrns my Battery down very fast idk why ;S
coming to the point
both Tethering Dosn't Work here, neither USB not wifi :S
and another thing i noticed my Boot Animation is Still the same old Android and ...
When i lock the phone, Screenlock thingie there is no sound :S
any Suggestions
Your boot animation is still what?
v 2 has android eating apple...if your boot doesnt have that then you have failed flashing I guess.
I used v 2 for a couple of days, the wifi tethering worked, I didnt try usb tethering.
Back to v 1.2 for some reasons, especially the battery which I think last longer in the earlier version.
Regards
ok i re flashed the v2 patch, now i see the Droid Eating Apple, lmao'd there coz i was waiting to see it the 1st time but i just got the other default android thingie,
about the tethering,
1st time it says Wifi Hotspot Hosted but when my laptop connects to it, or i can say establishes connection to the hotspot it says Error on the Phone and the Tethering Icon Disappears.
i can ping to the phone but it dosn't send/receive anything :S
and wifi kinda gets bugged after this in the sense it connects to my wifi router but dosn't process any data, it uses EDGE to Send/Receive Data
ok its official Tethering dosn't work with v2 Some more ppl posted on the Official Thread so i guess its the kernel's fault coz some ppl have trouble with wifi too,
hope Franco implements a Update soon ;-D
Anyways thanks for the info @least my Boot Animation Changed xD
Hello!
I've been reading a lot about this new gingerbread and stuff.. I came to flash this rom after the official flashing... just because I wanted root and oc.
BUT, idk really why, some apps doesn't work right...
sadly, I didn't try to install this apps BEFORE flashing this ROM.
the apps are:
Jed (Japanese dictionary), this just crash after installing the dic files...
Kanji Recognizer, this is in a loop, you download the dic files over and over again...
It's weird, I thought first it was because of some problems with Japanese language and characters,,. but I've had to find other (not so good) apps for this matters... Also I've searched if somebody else had this problems with this app in Gingerbread but it seems that it's only me...
if somebody have any clue... please
Thanks!
Hi, I finally decided to post my question after many hours searching trough google and xda.
Two weeks ago like many of you I uptdated my x10 to pre-rooted 2.3.3 stock Rom. At this moment I successfully tested wifi hotspot and usb tethering built in fonctions.
But Recently I tried to use it again but any time I checked the option, Android activate it for a second, an then says me "error" under the option name. Usb tehter can't be reactived at all and wifi hotspot can be checked but always uncheck himslef with the error subtitle.
Anyone facing this issue or know where it can come from ? And maybe the fix of course ^^.
Hope I made my self clear because actually I'm french.

I use Baracle to solve the issue with wifi tethering
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.szym.barnacle&feature=search_result
Yeah this is the solution I used to adopte when was on 2.1. And it was the best until the update.
But as far as what I tested when built-in tether worked it's clearly better. Not just an Ah-hod network but a real hotspot. Basically it's easier for other devices to connect and remember the password without configuring everything especially on windows.
And the usb option was even better, nothing to configure, no password, battery charging during tethering.
Anyway thank for the advice, until I get the solution I'll probably continue to use this app.
When you say "solve the problem with wifi tethering", do you mean you have the same one ?

Please, no one else, am I the only one facing the issue ? Even on an other device maybe ?
Finally I used SEUS to repare and root it like azazu said. Everything is back. Didn't find any other solution

I have the same problem and it never has been working from the start ! but USB tethering has no problem. The only way to fix it is to re-flash ?
Well I guess this is the best until someone more expert than us find a solution. I made a reparation with SEUS (sony ericsson update service) and then restore all back with Titanium Backup. Remember to save your contacts and sms before (cause Titanium doesn't). It only took one hours to get it all back just like before (root, bravia, Xloud, fps uncap...)
Hotspot error UNSOLVED 2012-02-01
Here's what I've done so far. I've suffered from this issue on two different Samsung Galaxy TAB's 7" (1 generation), two different Samsung Galaxy S2, two different HTC Desire HD, one ZTE Blade.
This issue is NOT caused by:
*Manufacture of phone
*Internet Service Provider (ISP)
*Operator
*Bluetooth ON/OFF
*root ON/OFF
*Stock Kernel
*Mod Kernel
*Stock Rom
*Mod Rom
*Stock Modem
*Mod Modem
*Android version: 2.3+ has this issue. (I've experienced a different issue on 4.0+; the Hotspot is up running although no device can connect to it.)
The only solution I've found is:
(From Clockwork Recovery):
Wipe Data(system reset)
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
Format Cache
Format Data
Format System
-Install a Rom (try a different one from what you are using right now).
Reboot
RESULT:
Hotspot working fine....for a while..
When it stops working; you'll have to do the steps above again. Install a different ROM, now you probably can return to your previously ROM which had this issue first. It will probably work. If it doesn't, switch ROM till you find one that works. Sometimes, total randomly; you will be able to use ROMS which this issue has been present earlier.
Yet, this is NOT a permanent solution. You will, no exceptions, experience this issue, on whatever ROM, modem, kernel, stock, not stock, phone, whatever, whatever you choose.
Here's one scenario which I couldn't figure out:
Galaxy TAB 7" 1st generation.
Android 2.3.4
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
WIPE/FORMAT
RE-Flashed Same Rom
*HOTSPOT WORKING*
1 hour later
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
WIPE/FORMAT
RE-Flashed Same Rom
*HOTSPOT WORKING*
5-10 minutes later
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
WIPE/FORMAT
RE-Flashed Same Rom
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
?????
I've also noticed that USB tethering is affected by this issue aswell.
If you have it working, congratulations! Use it while it lasts, nothing stays forever.

Hello everyone,
first of all, I am new on this Android world, so, any basic question I post, I ask for understanding in advance.
Trying to root my Viewpad 7 (Froyo 2.2), I come across to GingerBreak, I run it and it sucessfully root but it killed my Wifi (that's all connectivity I used, I have no mobile data plan)
as I wanted also to try new rooms, and flash a new one seems to be a only solution for the wifi problem (I have try factory settings without success). I come across Rom manager,
I download and install ROM_Manager_Premium_v4.3.2.3.apk from SD
and download CleanViewpad7_signed_v1.0.zip to my sd card
If I try to flash ClockworkMod Recovery from ROM manager, i get:
"Error while downloading from the server. Please make sure you have a stable internet conection ..." but that's no possible as I have no WIFI in my viewPad7 after root!
If I try to Install ROM from SD card (from Rom manager), the device restore in "Recovery mode" of "Andoid system recovery <3e>"; and it brakes with message "E:signature verification failed".
I have donwload it from several servers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168562), and all give the same error mesaage
I try to search for manual mode to install clockwork (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755379) but I can not find a way to go.
"wipe data/factory reset" inicializate the device, but it doesn't help with the wifi. it keet saying scaning->disconected->scanning->disconected ... (and of course, my wifi conection is set to remember with the password memorized)
In the cofig menu, i can see:
baseband: PR3.7_128
Kernel Apps_2.6.32.9
Build 4027_3_16R
In the FTM mode:
SWver=3.16R
Model:FM6-0001
HWVer:106
what can I do?, I just have a 7inch no apps-no connection beautifull "thing"
More: I have try two other Rooms:
EUViewpadV1.4.zip
Viewpad7 Stock EU 2.2 +rooted+CWM.zip
nothing works, signature verification failed

Okay, you willl be fine - just need to flash & restore it first to factory/stock ROM first, then root it and go from there - here are the steps that I would suggest:
First, save anything important on your mSD card if you need to, perhaps to a USB drive and/or computer's hard drive.
Next, use this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1260463 to download - for the stock ROMs from Viewsonic.
The newest one is for newer ITE hardware VPAD7 (and, I believe yours is NOT if you could get CleanViewpad v1.0 to boot up & activate the screen - and a number of users are having trouble with wifi ....) To override that signature verification error message that you get, look into CWM (I'm using v3.0.2.8) under Apply update from .zip file on SD card, and there's a "toggle signature verification" switch - change it and trying applying the zip file again to flash - it should work, as I recall. Before that, make sure you wipe system/cache/dalvik & reset data, etc. for a clean(er) new installation.
FM6-316Q-*.nb0 should work with earlier, non-ITE Vpad7 and so should FM6-3310-*.nb0, whereas the FM6-3350-*.nb0 should be for newer ITE devices with either HWver 107 and/or (some) HWver 106.
To flash it, you CANNOT use CWM but must download the SUTL3 (v1.7.9 worked for me) - read & following the onscreen warnings/directions and it should be finished in less than 10 minutes (have the Vpad7 fully charged first & do NOT need to have the mSD card installed)
When it's finished, reinstall the mSD card, take a deep breath & reboot/restart, and you should be up & running with the stock ROM in a few minutes - if so, check your wifi connectivity first before going any further. Start with 316Q ROM first and if it's good, you might want to move up to 3310 next (it's newer) & recheck wifi connectivity. STOP then, as yours is non-ITE and the 3350 will NOT work. You can then flash CWM and/or root it - with SOC or GB methods, etc. etc. which you're familiar with.
I had no problems with wifi connectivity and/or 3G data (prepaid GSM 3G coverage) running the Froyo Enhanced custom ROM (non-OC version since I have ITE hardware) OS 2.2 - However, I'm running stock ROM OS 2.2.2 rooted and wifi is perfect for me. (I'm written up a quck tip/guide also - in case you didn't come across it while searching for answers) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264647
Lastly, TJ_Style's FM6 ROM w overclocked kernel should work for you as well, it's OS 2.2 but I patched the boot.img with my saved newer 2.2.2 ITE kernel and got it working too, and, no issues with wifi access at all.
In short, check & change your Signature Verification options under CWM and try again, and, if not - restore by reflashing with SUTL3 a factory *.nb0 file, then - proceed from there.
Good luck, have a bit of patience - it's both fun & exciting, challenging & disappointment often followed by the joy of luck & success. Let us know how it go & write down any error message(s) so we can help figure it out together - plenty of "newbies" been around but still stranded at times.
Regards -
Thanks, SUTL3_v1.7.9 and FM6-3310-0-5029-A02.nb0 works like a charm, easy and bring back my ViewPad7 to work,
for anybodies info, that change my ViewPad to:
Android version : 2.2.2 (from 2.2)
Baseband version PR3.7_128 (same)
Kernel Version Apps_2.6.32.9 (same)
Build Number 5029_3_310 (from 4027_3_16R)
I got encouraged, and I try FM6-3350-0-1008-A01.nb0, that gives me:
Android version : 2.2.2 (from 2.2)
Baseband version PR3.7_128 (same)
Kernel Version Apps_2.6.32.9 (same)
Build Number 1008_3_350 (from 4027_3_16R)
Swype included !! (seems a little odd and disordered the configuration process, so skip it)
what means ITI / non-ITI ?
languajes: both nb0 are English/Spanish/French only
now I will start with rooting and so, I will let you know
once more, many thanks.
Wonderful, we are all glad to know that you had success. Is your wifi working once again with either stock unrooted ROM?
Once rooted & CWM reinstalled, do a backup first to save those *.img files, etc. so that you can easily restore/go back later on if necessary.
As I said, check out Enhanced Froyo and TJ_Style's FM6 custom ROMs, both of them should work nicely for you - including wifi (I believe, as least on mine - both solid signals in both G and N routers, WEP & WPA-2 modes. (Also, try open or unsecured mode)
Happy flashing ....
YES !!, wifi is working back to normal. At least sometimes (I have need to re-flash few time already, it has stoped working few times more, and not becouse of rooting, just installing apps from market)
I have also encoutered the next problem : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XuccAxXY_8
and that shouldn't be normal behaviour?, isn't it ?
try with diferent room or return to viewsonic ?
by the way, what ITE means ?
thanks once more

ITE refers to Panjit Touchscreen (Multi-Touch Resistive) used on newer Vpad7 built & shippped vs. older hardwares used on earlier models.
On that subject, I've looked at a # of youtube video reviews & posting about the device's orientation/rotation issues, and it seemed to me that it prefer to be in a landscape mode. But, there are times where we wanted to have a choice, turn it 90 degree for a vertical or straight up - not so sure it's 99% hardware problem - rather, problem caused by a mix of Android codes & Apps used. Some were defective but that's a production & quality control issue, so, anyway.
I'm not sure after seeing at your YT video what the problem is, please describe & I will have another look with my thoughts on it.
Does it happen with the stock/factory ROM or only with the ROM being runned now - I would flash a different ROM to compare the results.
Sending it back to Viewsonic is an option but you will be without its use for 2 to 4 weeks (usual timeframe, could be longer) & deal with packing, insuring, shipping & waiting - but, if it's "bad" - get authorization & exchange it or repaired.
Regards !
Bad news, as later day, wifi come alive, it went down sometimes, and as I was trying application I flash the three diferent factory rooms few times. What I didn't notice is that the wifo was disconecting more and more often: now it does connect at all.
As said, I have try the three diferent ROM in viewsonic, and also an app called FixMyWifi, nothing helps, wife is all the time "Connecting..."->"Disconected"->"Searching"->and so on
about the strange behiviour of the screen, the matter is that as soon as using two fingers, the right one, can not be in lower position than the left one. So forgot about plenty of games, drawinf with two fingers, dificulto for rotating maps (when the rotation of finger goes beyond 90 degres)
And one of the reasons I bought it is my little boy, explain that to a children of four years..., in deed he found it as "that does work well, the tank does not follow my fingers"
so, as a multitouch is basically pointless if you have to care your right finger does not go bellow your left one ...
Anything to do with the Wifi ?
rooting may help in some way?, and some terminal comands?
I am willing to try, I am just in the point before return it as faulty device.
Many thanks for all the help given.

Thanks for clarifying and I looked at the YT video again - perhaps you would be better off getting Viewsonic for authorization to return for repair or exchange it. On my device, the screen is responsive 98% of the time but I do realize that sometimes, when we're playing Angry Birds, that it too doesn't always readily respond to commands or launch the bird shots .... Not a big deal for games, it will usually get going again - worst case, use the Go Back key & restart the level - I figure that it could be a combination of the Froyo or Android codes written for the OS and/or along with the Angry Birds gaming itself.
Afterall, my "regular" & 2 years old smartphone, HTC Eris running a nearly identical CPU & configuration is running custom rooted GingerBread ROM - and, is must better & responsive in overclocked mode. The Vpad7 will not, I feel, be running Honeycomb but let's hope that some of the veteran xda developers will soon release a working GingerBread ROM - perhaps it will fix many of the issues across the field, so to speak. (or, if Viewsonic will release it as official update .... wishful thinking, huh - but !)
On the wifi issues, have you tried doing the SuperOneClick and/or GingerBreak apk to root, and then flash TJ_Style's custom FM6 ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264647 - this OC version with WiFi fix might work for you without any mods (patching or zip flashing the 2.2.2 boot.img)
On wifi configuration itself, is this happening with different routers - "older" G mode or newer N (faster) routers, unsecured or open network or secured (WEP, WPA or WPA2, etc.) - any issues on the host computer/router's firewall blocking ? Can you log in at a public hotspot or cafe like Starbuck ?
Go into Settings > Wireless & network settings > Wi-Fi settings > and, then, tap the Home key (the bottom of 4 keys on the device - held in landscape mode) and you should see "Scan" & "Advanced" - does it pickup a decent signal ? Click "Advanced" & look at your "Wi-Fi sleep policy" - mine is checked for "When screen turn off" - tried "Never" or "Never when plugged in" - any difference ? If you get this far, you might want to try to set up & Use "static IP" instead of using dynamic ip addressing that these devices usually count on .... it's a bit of work, but might help to "zoom" into your own router only.
I use "Wifi Analyzer" v2.5.13 from Kevin Yuan (Google Market) to help scan the spectrum for signals and possible interference, which sometimes do happen - and moved 1 of our 2 cable broadband router to a different channel so that all of our wireless (up to 15 of them, yes) devices around the house can easily connect to the hotspots. (Reading posts @ other forum sites & ran my inSSIDer v2.0 from Dell laptop for baseline, it scanned 17 active APN's with varying signal strengths, our Sony W995 picked up only 6 signals with 3 good ones, the HTC Eris picked up 6 signals also with 3 good ones, and the Vpad7 only 3 signals, 2 of them from our own indoor G & N routers plus 1 from neighbors that's marginal. It's safe to assume that our device's internal radio receiver or Baseband isn't very good with reception to begin with - you might need to flash a different "build" like mine to give it a try - and try switching your wifi channel.)
Just some of my thoughts on the wifi problem as I do run into signal problems myself every so often installing a new device or configure a guest's new gadget at home. If all else failed and along with the touchscreen problem, then I would say get it fixed via repair or exchange from Viewsonic, and then .... (a few weeks later, upon its return to you - happy rooting & flashing, etc.)

Click "Advanced" & look at your "Wi-Fi sleep policy" - mine is checked for "When screen turn off" - tried "Never" or "Never when plugged in" - any difference ? If you get this far, you might want to try to set up & Use "static IP" instead of using dynamic ip addressing that these devices usually count on .... it's a bit of work, but might help to "zoom" into your own router only.

about the wifi issue, I have try all the steps you mention before, nothing helps with my router (deliver by the telephone company). The only thing that works, sometimes, s turning off the router for several seconds, then it connect again. As absurd it sounds, it looks like the viewpad doesn't disconnect from the router even as turned off, so the router doesn't allow to negociated again a conection (and it keeps it in connected device while the viewpad is reseting or turned off)
I have try connecting a Linksys Wi-fi and connecting trought it : WORKS GREAT.
Trying in different locations, some of them same problem as the router, others works perfectly.
Solved for home with second wifi-point, I see myself one day asking Starbuchs guy to reset their router...

I use "Wifi Analyzer" v2.5.13 from Kevin Yuan (Google Market) to help scan the spectrum for signals and possible interference, which sometimes do happen - and moved 1 of our 2 cable broadband router to a different channel so that all of our wireless (up to 15 of them, yes) devices around the house can easily connect to the hotspots. (Reading posts @ other forum sites & ran my inSSIDer v2.0 from Dell laptop for baseline, it scanned 17 active APN's with varying signal strengths, our Sony W995 picked up only 6 signals with 3 good ones, the HTC Eris picked up 6 signals also with 3 good ones, and the Vpad7 only 3 signals, 2 of them from our own indoor G & N routers plus 1 from neighbors that's marginal. It's safe to assume that our device's internal radio receiver or Baseband isn't very good with reception to begin with - you might need to flash a different "build" like mine to give it a try - and try switching your wifi channel.)
Just some of my thoughts on the wifi problem as I do run into signal problems myself every so often installing a new device or configure a guest's new gadget at home. If all else failed and along with the touchscreen problem, then I would say get it fixed via repair or exchange from Viewsonic, and then .... (a few weeks later, upon its return to you - happy rooting & flashing, etc.)
